CDD-Ghana to host APPP International Workshop

23 Apr 2010

APPP Learning Week

Dubbed the “APPP Learning Week,” the workshop will provide an opportunity for the various research streams under the APPP network to learn from each other, share research experiences and improve upon skills in research communication.
A similar meeting for the APPP’s Francophone countries is scheduled for Niger simultaneously.
The Africa Power and Politics Programme is a five year programme of research, training and policy debate managed by a consortium of research units and think tanks in Ghana, Niger, Uganda, France, UK and US. The programme is committed to discovering better ways of organizing governance for development in sub-Saharan Africa, drawing on the best of Africa’s own experience.

Crucial to making neo-patrimonialism work for development in Africa has been a system for centralising economic rents and gearing their management to the long term

Tim Kelsall

Overall, we definitely have to move towards this kind of politically literate, contextual and humble approach to understanding development. Brilliant
